“You have to be discreet,” Sara says. “In your public role, you must be able to gauge what your principle wants, one step ahead. Moreover, you must remain unflustered and maintain your sense of dignity. It’s all about looking after other people and care for them. Behind the scenes you must make sure that standards are upheld and tasks done properly. Attention to detail is of utmost importance.”

Who wants to go in to this job?

Men and women from all walks of life. Any nationality is welcome to apply to the Butler training program.

Are there any female Butlers?

“Many is the answer. The reason why female butlers are so popular is that many butler employers reside in the middle east and have separated male – female households. This means that the woman part need female servants. Of course, our qualified female butlers go in to jobs in other parts of the world too.”
